11 December

FLAMENCO LOCO / 8pm

All it takes to lift Flamenco music from the tourist-trap clichés is to
find someone who can really do it, and Falmenco Loco really can. You
might not think to look north of Hadrian’s Wall, mind you, but guitarist
Cuffy long ago left his Glaswegian home to seek out the soul of
Andalucia and years of application and inspiration have made him one of
the finest flamenco guitarists hereabouts. Asturian guitarist, singer
and percussionist Jaime Cantera (aka Jimi Can), on the other hand,
brought his Spanish heritage to Bristol where he has become part of
numerous bands ranging from flamenco-rumba to reggae. As Flamenco Loco
the two musicians bring together guest singers and dancers to offer the
full range of musical drama that makes proper flamenco such a thrilling
experience.

LEWIS CREAVEN / 8pm

Some say Lewis was born with a guitar in his hand. He knows his guitar inside out; man and guitar are almost inseparable. His music echoes Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Irish luminaries Andy Irvine and Paul Brady, and is also shaped by the many fantastic musicians Lewis has met on his travels. Well know for his bombastic blues-rock trio, this acoustic side to Lewis' repertoire really shows how versatile he is.
